End of The Week Updates [11-24-2023]

              So a lot has happened this week and I do not know where to begin what Chris and the rest of the staff but here we go:

Website: It was time to finally release the 10th anniversary pages and we're sorry we've been slow on releasing it and not the other Staff's fault it is all on me for leaving the Trip down memory lane as I was stumped on something but it is done and happy it's done and released. The schedule for 2024 anniversary will not be released till January 1st, 2024. I will be redoing that page in the month of December and this will be an easier project as I plan on doing table like page as it can be a lot of moving parts to our 10th anniversary.

Entertainment Man Podcast: Chris will be recording and starting to edit the podcast for Sunday to assure it is done for Sunday. Also Chris is deciding whether to close interview requests for the year as he has only 1 spot but he's holding off on that request for right now.

The CBOTW Show: Chris and Larry have recorded Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Podcasts and Chris is currently editing it and will have it ready for a week from now. He will have 2 weeks of content to fullfill him and big shoutout to him and Larry for giving us these episodes. Chris hopes to finish up the Power Rangers starting on Monday and getting it done by the following weekend at the most so he can work on Dino Fury. 

          That is what's gone on this week and I will be back a week from now on the first end of the week updates on Friday, December 1st, 2023 so have a great weekend and talk to you next Friday.

The CBOTW Show Future on YouTube?

           As you may know we've been conducting polls that has made us really think about things. One of them is this blog which is changing as you know, but the other thing was the move of The CBOTW Show, with two podcasts currently on the move at this moment, it is remotely impossible for us to work on two channels from week to week. The other thing I want to add to this post is The CBOTW Show is every 2nd week and isn't in my criteria to make the move to YouTube. I know I could ask my team to help me run it and all but I already have Entertainment Man Podcast's channel to run at the time. 

            Whenever Entertainment Man Podcast stops which I am NOT planning to anytime or any day soon but if it was to happen, I'd consider going weekly with The CBOTW Show and then I'd actually consider actually doing YouTube as an option but for now Entertainment Man Podcast on both YouTube/Audio ONLY and this podcast The CBOTW Show on Audio ONLY in the meantime as we continue to build up the amount of episodes each and every week we post episodes to both of the podcasts. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

End of The Week Updates [10-13-2023]

          It is the end of the week, which means I as Community Manager give you guys the updates and I have some updates. First of all Chris has been busy with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media HQ or ChrisBOnTheWeb Studios. As you know, he's been busy with moving the desk around in a complete 360, side desk still in the position it is in even though they moved it to clean out on the carpet. Chris has stated that there is more room to move about and that was one of the key issues with the way the studio was setup originally. If you remember there wasn't a second desk but now has the other one. Studio looks good and a lot better then before.

            Today, Chris is recording Entertainment Man Podcast so he can edit and get it up and ready. He is starting to figure out that episodes on his own should be just uploaded not premiered. Not that he doesn't like hanging out every week with you all, just feels like it just uploading his solo episodes and interviews will be premiered for everyone to listen. He said this more then likely will take place in 2024 if he decides but I enjoy hanging out for half hour to an hour a week but it's his show he decides. There is no updates on Power Rangers Podcast but I know him and Larry talked about it as he updated me last night before going to bed. This weekend he will be in Bomanville Apple Festival and South Simcoe Railway this weekend and there will be content coming out Sunday and Monday both on social media and on this very blog so stay tuned for that. We appreciate the love & support you have given us over the years and thank you for reading the blog each and every week and I will speak to you all next week, have a wonderful weekend.

The CBOTW Show Returns Today!

           The CBOTW Show is making it's return today for the first time in a week almost with a brand new schedule. Now I know what about Power Rangers what I am thinking is going on a rotating schedule but here is what we're thinking:

          Week # 1:                                                 Week # 2:

Tues: 1 pm EST- Power Rangers                  T.V. or Movies                        (Larry and I)                               (By  Myself)       

           So I am sticking to the schedule on Tuesdays but every 2nd week I will be posting something up and the weeks Power Rangers isn't on, I will be keeping up with the posting of new episodes with TV and Movie recaps. I dunno what the plan is moving forward with TV Recap wise but we'll see. For now I wanna do some movies for now especially that Halloween season is upon us I plan on actually doing some classic horror film reviews. I have a couple in the back of my mind. Psycho, Halloween being two of them. Anyways that is the post for today, just a little update for you guys and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

I'm Recording My 500th Episode as a Podcaster!

              Tomorrow I will be recording my 500th episode of the podcast and what an amazing podcast to pay homage to the last 500 episodes I have done whether it was Reality TV, Entertainment Man or The CBOTW Show. It has been such an amazing last 500 and I never thought I would get to this moment where I would be celebrating 500 episodes as a podcaster. The next big moment will be the 1000th episode then 5000 but I am getting a little ahead of myself.

             I have you guys to thank for supporting me the last 8 years since starting this podcasting and it has been such an amazing adventure for me! I have learned so much as a podcaster and you probably will hear this for me but either way I cannot wait for you guys to hear this episode of the podcast, was a great one that I did and yes it will be premiered this weekend as I promised that I would do a premiere this weekend. But for right now that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

I've Learned A lot Being a Content Creator

             After the situation with the interview I was suppose to have a guest. I have learned I need to take the time to go over the information that I am given from my guests and actually take a day to go over the information and make a decision whether it is a fit for my podcast or not. I mean I need to also know what is suitable for my podcast and what isn't. I have an issue with always saying yes and also making the decision too soon and too fast. I mean I make a decision right away and not take the time to go over information before making a decision.

           So I have learned to take the time and make a decision when it comes to not just the podcasts but even the blogs, YouTube, TikTok, business decisions regarding ChrisBOnTheWeb as well. So this has become a big learning curve for me and this actually has again opened up my mind on a lot and continue to make changes to my day to day life. That is what I want is even more growth as a creator. That is the post for today, I am going to continue to grow as a blogger, podcaster and creator and I promise to do better but as always I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

Explaning Everything Entertainment Man Podcast!

            There is a ton of things I want to explain with the podcast as 200th episode is looming within a month and a half practically away and changes to the podcast is coming as well but here is what I am thinking:

200th Episode:  As I said it is coming up fast like 10 episodes to go actually and I have toyed with the idea of going live on YouTube and I feel like it wouldn't be worth it as a 1 or 2 people reached out saying they cannot see my videos and I have no changed any settings on my channel so I do not know what is going on but the views are there for me to do it live but I may wait till episode 500 which is quite a long way so I am going to try and do an extended episode of the podcast for you guys and post it on Thursday which is a 2nd time I've done and probably will do a premiere as long as it doesn't cross paths with Larry and I and right now I do not think it will as there is nothing scheduled right now. 

Making The Move To YouTube Fully:  Yes the rumours are true and I am planning to do the bonus episode on YouTube and think it is because people want more out of the podcast on YouTube so it is time to make the move to YouTube (video) for both Thursday's bonus episode of the podcast & regular episode of the podcast on Sundays. This will also be 20 minutes for the Bonus episode which I want to make that move so they equal almost the same amount of time but weekends will be 30 minutes or more. This will all begin as of January 1st, 2024 so right now, this idea is in testing phases and may see at least one more on Thursday on YouTube maybe one more pop up after that but we will see. Anyways that is what is what with the podcast and I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

Chris

YouTube Views Have Been Up and Down!

             YouTube views for me have been up and down lately. Sundays the views have been down lately and not sure why and I mean like 10 - 13. Now I am not complaining but I find it strange that the views have gone down up to a point of last Thursday's episode of the podcast the numbers climbed so maybe it is the content but it could of been the fact it was summer and not everyone wants to be online and enjoy this nice weather. 

             However I have realized a lot of things and gave me ideas for the future and I think and pretty sure I will be moving to both YouTube and AUDIO Only for both regular Sunday episodes and Thursday Bonus episodes. However I am not planning to implement in January 2024. This is just testing phases for the idea. There is one more I want to do and that's the 200th episode which I am still toying with the idea and will address this week at some point of the week. I have two more days to write after this blog and will probably have it finished before the night is up as I am writing this at almost 3 am EDT. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you guys tomorrow. 

Chris

Been Experimenting With My Podcast

               As you know it's a little over a year since the return to YouTube and has done so well. But you guys know I have been experimenting with the channel lately and premieres has become a weekly thing unless I am busy with my family but it has proved to be a success. I've noticed the premiere's of the podcast has peaked at 5 views in total thus far so this has proven a lot especially the last few months I have really been involved with the chat and my team has popped up on there from time to time. 

            Now it's been suggested actually by my assistant and Community Manager, Brianna for the topic side of things to up it to around the 30 minute mark and I am taking this information into a lot of consideration when it comes this decision and I will be making these changes when I get back from the States I will be applying this change to spread out the episodes to be a bit longer then it has been. Not only her but I feel like the premieres go way too fast so this is the next best thing for the podcast is to expand out on the length each and every week and maybe the Bonus episode on Audio ONLY should be pushed to 15 minutes. A lot of changes to be made when I return from holidays and I can say the creative are flowing and I can just keep on improving the show and production quality as I continue on with this. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates!

I'm Staying Positive!

             As you know I have been working on notes non stop and tomorrow being the day of recording, I am staying positivie through all of this. I do have a plan and if worse comes to worse, we will be recording at least 1. Here is the plan for right now:

PLAN A (Original Plan): Record both Ninja Steel and Super Ninja Steel as normally and if this is if I make a real dent as I went to bed early to try and get a really big dent into the notes

PLAN B: Just record the 1 episode, Ninja Steel and push it till the 29th of this month at this point. 

Plan Moving Forward: If we do the one episode this week the plan in 2 weeks is to try and record Super Ninja Steel and Beast Morphers, Season 1 & 2 if we can if humanly possible this could possibly put us back on schedule again. 

               So I am always reinventing and trying to figure things out and try and compromise things even if crap hits the fan especially with not getting notes done. I tried to sacrifice sleep and that didn't work, so I sleep when I need to sleep then work, if I get it done, I get it done right? Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post. 

Chris

End of The Week Updates [06-10-2023]

             Another week has come to a close and time for the end of the week updates. I do not remember if I even did one as the last few weeks have been busy but here are the updates:

Discord: With all the drama in the recent weeks with the Discord server, I have done away with that community, plus it is normally used for streaming and I do not stream whatsoever, I am just a blogger and podcaster honestly. Nothing else. 

The CBOTW Show: As you guys know I have worked my heart and soul into Power Rangers for next week and have OFFICIALLY started to work on the notes and typing up notes for the upcoming podcast next week. Exciting stuff on the horizon for this podcast.

Website: As you guys know I have moved Power Rangers Collab over to the Podcast Archives and is available now by clicking on the images on there not just for Power Rangers Collab but also Everything About Reality TV which is the other podcast in there. 

            Those are some of the updates and what has been going on this week, not too crazy minus all the drama in the community but things are on the up and up. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday and be sure to be on the lookout for a possible stream on the Facebook Fan Page  today at some point.

Chris

The CBOTW Show Keeps Being Added!

              Already posted the platforms but I wanna talk about this: Because not within a hour or so the podcast started to flourish already onto other platforms! Which is incredible and one of them being GoodPods which they actually follow me on Twitter so they've seen my updates on the preparation of the merge so they knew it was coming so big thank you to them for picking it up. Already claimed it on the app I was quick to getting it. 

            Now I have added the podcast to two platforms: First one is obviously iTunes which had to go through a lot of hoops and fences to get it on there. Meaning they had to process the feed then the image was not the right size so I have to resize that to 1400x1400 but I should know the requirements for that, been on iTunes for a long time now and should of known better but am on there. Also added the podcast to Spotify too so it is on there as well. Other platforms include Podparadise, Podbean. So we are underway with bringing the podcast back up and running and it will expand over time I'm sure. I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

Power Rangers Collab and The CBOTW Show Are Merging Now

             Title doesn't lie, I made the decision to merge the two podcasts together now! As of last week, I made the conscious decision to bring the two today, to lower down the stress that I have been carrying for the last while. The last episode under Power Rangers Collab will be June 3rd which is our 5th anniversary and it will also be the first episode on The CBOTW Show as well which is very exciting stuff too. Then from here on out it will be on The CBOTW Show Audio ONLY feeds only and of course here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. Power Rangers Collab will be moved to archives as of July 1st to make room for The CBOTW Show but it can be found on www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/podcast-archives.html

                  Also Power Rangers Collab Hashtag will no longer be monitored on Social Media as we will be focusing on #TheCBOTWShow & of course #EntertainmentManPod on Social Medias out there. So expect the change to happen and happen fast. It is going to be fast as the roadrunner and I am honestly excited for the change. I am going to be doing a little presentation video as I am presenting something Larry which is the poster that has been pinned to the cork board for the 5 years which is autographed for me. Either way exciting and that is the post for today, I will speak to you all tomorrow.

Chris

End of The Week Updates Return Next Week!

             I decided against the end of the week updates cause honestly, I don't think I was very active with content that much. I am mostly been upstairs lately. Been working on the collab but starting this weekend I am getting back into the studio to type up the notes if it isn't done. I am gearing up to work on Beast Morphers pretty quick as time is ticking and need to get it done by mid June so we can record at the end of June to be one step further to the finish line. 

            That is what's just on my mind right now, I have the end game in my mind. Once we are finished, excuse me I have to say we as Larry is as much of a part of the podcast as I am but right now a lot of my focus is on the collab and getting done all 29 seasons in preparation for Season 30 as well. That is pretty much all I have to say right now but be prepared for all content to go back to normal next week and back to the grind. I am sure I will be energized and ready to go. That is the post for this week and little side note there will be a premiere this weekend of the next episode of Entertainment Man Podcast, I will be available so have a great weekend and see you all Sunday for the premiere of the podcast and I will be back on the blog on Monday!     

Chris

          

         

How Many Topics Do I Have for the Podcast?

            So you probably wondering how many topics I have for Entertainment Man Podcast? I have well over 100 topics for ideas and ended up with more then I could chew but that's OK, I am happy to say the podcast is going to be sticking around for a while longer. The more interviews it just extends the topics I have which is wonderful news honestly. It is just a regular routine for me with the interviews and there has been weeks where I had a ton of em. 

          However with extra time, I do the topics and really wanna dive into them a bit more and I want to make the time and an idea has come to me but I have well over 100 different ideas. This comes from conversations I have had with you whether it was in DM's or comments on Social Media or through the interviews I am always got some new ideas that keeps this podcast fresh and always different on the episodes I do topics. So there is your answer, as always I will talk to you all on Monday, have a great weekend!

Chris

Entertainment Man Podcast will be the Last YouTube Channel I Have EVER!

              As you know I have had my issues with platform and I have made a very crucial decision that Entertainment Man Podcast will be the last channel that ChrisBOnTheWeb has cause I do not like what they've been doing and I talked about it on a podcast but the door is closing on me being involved on the platform that makes you verify links for every upload you do and ends up being denied. I have reached out numerous times and just the same answer yet they were going to look into it but nothing. 

             My decision is final and if I need to do video down the road, it'd be elsewhere honestly but any other projects, it will remain on Audio ONLY and that is the goal from here on besides Entertainment Man, I mean other podcasts like The CBOTW Show will be Audio ONLY, here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com, iTunes, Spotify, Castbox, Tunein.com, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music and so forth. I think I am starting to turn back to focusing on this website more then anything else. If Entertainment Man was to stop which there is no plans to stop at this point, but if it was to the YouTube Page would probably be taken down on the website down the road, just saying but again no plans to end my beloved Entertainment Man Podcast, it is here to stay. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Will I Be Booking Interviews While I'm Busy?

              The question that I am sure you guys are asking will I be booking  while I am busy and the answer is NO, I will not be. Because I would need to take the time to come up with questions, get Skype video setup and other things that involve me being at the computer. I am going to be just super busy with family and the 21st I am happy to announce something this week's final end of the week updates for a few weeks time. You have to wait till end of the week. 

              So I am slowing down and already turned on my availability on Matchmaker to unavailable as I am winding down on interviews for right now. However, if you email entertainmentmanpod@gmail.com we are more then happily able to direct you to the Calendly and book for the week of May 21st which is the date I plan on doing interviews again as I will be coming off of my hiatus for the few weeks that I am not going to be available for. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

Let's Talk Entertainment Man Podcast!

           With the podcast now almost halfway through it's 4th season and 3rd year on the air, I have started to feel a bit tense and frustrated with the podcast. I want serious inquiries with Entertainment Man Podcast. I take this podcast serious and I've had requests that never happened. This is just a friendly reminder that I want serious inquiries and that is all I really ask. Communication is key always in the end. I wish there was something I could do but it takes both sides to get things rolling. All I ask my potential guests is to check email, social media and Matchmaker. One thing that is needed with the frustrations is a lot of patience which at times it has been tested but handling things a lot better, I've learned so much about this process. I could a podcast about it and maybe I should!

        Also with my interview now wrapped there is a few things I need to work on with the podcast, one of them, being figuring out some things with the interview side of things, need to figure out what I can do to try and improve things one of them being my sound quality as there has been issues with the sound going high at some times and the other thing is to see if I can figure out how to handle interview requests a bit better and it is definitely me that wants to improve things so things flow a bit better. That is where I'm at right now, I can only improve things from here on out and is uphill from here. I'm not sure if there will be anymore interviews between now and when I leave for the province of Quebec but I will be sure to keep you guys in the loop on that. Maybe I will take a bit of a break till the 21st of May. Anyways that is the post, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

End of The Week Updates [04-14-2023]

                 Another week gone and sort of wasted. What do I mean by this I didn't really do much minus record Entertainment Man Podcast and my own fault for not wanting to get the collab done and time is now ticking hard and fast and need to get into the collab this weekend and I mean really dig into it now. I know I have a month from recording that podcasts with Larry but I mean I am going to be working on it to get it done and finished so I can get to the next one Beast Morphers. I need to refocus and get back on track with this podcasts as we are close to the end game now. 5 years of hard work has certainly paid off. 

               Other then that been mostly working on Entertainment Man Podcast. Still working on interview prep and have a few interviews to catch up still 2 left on the list as I have been playing some catch-up on interviews I had to reschedule and one that was scheduled 2 weeks ago. Either way I am aware that my time off is coming up while I am away and busy with the family on some personal matters and already got episodes to go out for you guys while I am busy and I cannot promise a premiere it depends on my schedule. Anyways that are the updates for the week, have a fantastic weekend and talk to you all Monday!

Chris
